Исследование опирается на пул глубинных интервью с религиозными лидерами, собранных в рамках полевого исследования в вореде Хамар. Выделено 35 направлений внекультовой работы, которые реализуются в основном крупными церквями, имеющими длительное присутствие в регионе. Определено, что приоритетными для них являются проекты в сфере образования и просвещения, а также социальная поддержка, миротворчество и разрешение конфликтов. Религиозные лидеры по-разному относятся к внекультовой работе: для одних она представляется благом и считается первичной для христианизации, другие же воспринимают такой подход критично, ставя во главу угла культовую деятельность. Внекультовая работа христианских церквей в рассматриваемом регионе отвечает не только их собственным целям, но и запросам государства, которое видит в них важных партнеров для интеграции населения этого периферийного региона в эфиопское общество и экономику. Показано, что высокая активность этих организаций несет в себе риски, связанные прежде всего с социально-культурной трансформацией местных обществ.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines the main directions of non-cult activities of Christian organizations in frontier regions, using South Omo zone (the South Ethiopia Regional State) as an example. The research is based on indepth interviews with religious leaders conducted during field research in Hamar Woreda. There are 35 types of non-cult work implemented primarily by large churches that have a long-term presence in the region. Projects in the fields of education and enlightenment, social support, peacekeeping and conflict resolution were identified as priorities. Religious leaders share different approaches to non-cult activities. Some see it as a blessing and consider it essential for Christianization, while others view this approach critically and prioritize religious teachings. The non-cult activities of Christian churches in the region meets not only their own goals, but also the needs of the state, which sees them as important partners for integrating this peripheral region into Ethiopian society and the economy. It is shown that the high level of engagement of these organizations poses risks associated primarily with sociocultural transformations in local communities.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>христианские организации</kwd><kwd>внекультовая деятельность</kwd><kwd>гуманитарная миссия</kwd><kwd>Эфиопия</kwd><kwd>Южное Омо</kwd><kwd>хамар</kwd><kwd>общественная трансформация</kwd><kwd>интеграция</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Christian organizations</kwd><kwd>non-cult activities</kwd><kwd>humanitarian mission</kwd><kwd>Ethiopia</kwd><kwd>South Omo</kwd><kwd>Hamar</kwd><kwd>social transformation</kwd><kwd>integration</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена при поддержке гранта Министерства науки и высшего образования РФ на проведение крупных научных проектов по приоритетным направлениям научно-технологического развития № 075-15-2024-551«Глобальные и региональные центры силы в формирующемся мироустройстве».</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This article was prepared with the support of a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation for major scientific projects in priority areas of scientific and technological development No. 075-15-2024-551 “Global and regional centers of power in the emerging world order”.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Абрамова 2014 - Абрамова И.О. «Демографический дивиденд» и будущее Африки // Азия и Африка сегодня. 2014. № 11.
